An outing

I am on the hunt for a Bird house! I have been for months... You

see, for a few years I saw a couple selling these Beautiful bird

houses and feeders from the bed of their truck. Sometimes

they could be found set up in a parking lot very Near to the

house. Other times, I noticed them closer to town, but I could

always count on Seeing them at least a couple of times during

the month. But now... Now that I have a spot in the garden all

picked out and I am in the market for one of their Treasures, the

couple is no longer to be found. Which is just my luck, of course!

I was reminded of my Frustrated search again this afternoon on

our way to the Greensboro arboretum where we went to walk off

our yummy late lunch at PF Chang's. Reminded when I saw this...

If anyone out there knows the couple I speak of, Please do tell!

Even in 90-degrees, the Greensboro arboretum is a lovely walk!

The main reason for our Stop this afternoon, besides the necessary

walk, was to take an Up-close look at this relatively new addition

Isn't it amazing?

Fortunately for us, there was a strong Wind blowing today!

The rich tone of these Chimes vibrates right through you

I cannot wait for our Yews in front of the pool fence to look like this!

Time for a stroll through our own Arboretum at home!

Where my Mother's Day azaleas are popping a bit early!

The intense pink against the new Wisteria blooms on the arbor thrills me!

Every time it looks like this I remind him that he was

against my idea of adding Wisteria to the garden

He sometimes admits to being Wrong about not wanting it

So we're both happy!

Speaking of Happy... One of my amazing bosses gave me

a very Generous AmEx gift card on administrative assistant's

day, which I put to good use at Wild Birds Unlimited today. I

added another section of pole to extend the Height of

the bird feeders in front of the Kitchen window

I also added this cute Hummingbird finial!

And this mealworm feeder too! The bluebirds are going to Love it!

To me, this is So much better than flowers on secretary's day!
